what the fuck op
TIL! pinging @Soullioness@lemmy.world to see if they’re active and/or have thoughts.
cuz yeah my most recent callout post went to !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone and a lot of people got really upset at me for being “off topic” 😓 (it was effective btw, yay!)
telling someone they are going to burn in hell for their religion/atheism would also be anti-religious and should be treated as such :)
well, we all know everyone who does science speaks english 🤷♀️
edit: /s
Do we know the root of the history behind this? Were there any genuine reasons or minds behind it or was it reactionaryism, plain and simple?
looks like its opt in good news
i’m jerking their chains🤣
Yeah, my good buddy is from Genovia, where they use a regional version of the periodic table with more human-friendly names. They use Ca for calcium, Ir for iron, Hy for hydrogen, and Ox for oxygen. This change was their answer to the metric system—a way to make science more accessible to everyone ostensibly I believe.
Back in the 1960s, Gennovia was looking to bolster its local industry and economy. The government decided that simplifying scientific terms would help more people get into science and technology fields. It seems to be working because their literacy rates in science are through the roof? Somehow. They even have Ni for nickel and Si for silver, making it so much easier to remember what’s what. I didn’t know it was prevalent enough that it made its way onto package branding tho. Interesting stuff.
it would ruin the tour
those socks are so cute where can i get them😦
/srs if you say Alabama or some shit imma block u

this was actually a surprise/something of a mandela effect to me too?! like i swear these were usually called stampedes, just like with animals, but apparently “crowd crush” is in fact the more common term 😅 the more you know 🌈
…and that feels equivalent to me.
wholeheartedly agree, and i would call it out just as i did here. :) either way, such a statement is quite offensive and irresponsible behavior to come from a leader of the “world news” community.
it’s always a storm to see .world accounts log on and tell me off for being off topic… in 196 of all places😄
With emphasis, no, it’s shitty people who happen to be atheist who are the problem. :) Just to clarify, because I would never make that first statement.
“the silliest thing to claim without evidence or explanation of any sort”
You are right, I left a lot implied because my sentiment is a fairly common one. But fair to point out—my apologies. Here is a citation showing that I am far from the first person to hold this opinion on r/atheism.
Note again that I don’t hold any prejudice against any belief system; I only hold that r/atheism in particular historically fostered a culture of toxicity which makes anti-religious prejudice and personal attacks more common compared to offline spaces.
this does explain quite a bit, thanks for the clarification
